Sasuke's POV
Once Jugo left I felt a sudden feel of eagerness, just knowing that Hinata and I were left alone in her apartment. My mind began swarming with thoughts of confessing my feelings to her. I knew that it was possibly a tad bit too early to tell anything to her for various reasons. The main reasons are that I previously broken up with Sakura not to long ago and I don't want to rush into another relationship just yet. Second was because I knew that there could be a chance I could be rejected...and that's something I wasn't ready to feel.
My coal black eyes gazed over at her, she is such a beauty but I could never get myself to actually tell her that. Many things I've always wanted to tell her but I couldn't because I would always feel so guilty since I was with Sakura. I wouldn't even hug Hinata due to the guilt I would feel, almost as if I had betrayed Sakura by even touching Hinata.
I stood up from my seat making my way out of the kitchen but I slowly stopped, turning my head around looking at her noticing her confused look in her eyes. I couldn't help but to smile at her childlike features, raising my hand I motioned her to follow me.
Walking into the living room, I took a seat down on the couch looking up at her as she took a seat down next to me. I cleared my throat turning my head to glance over at her, looking into her unique eyes. A light blush appeared on my cheeks.
"Hinata...I have something I need to tell you" I said to her in a serious tone. She looked at me with that same curious gaze but I noticed her staring at my cheeks. Geez, she probably noticed my blush. I covered half of my face with my hand to hide my blush stained cheeks.
"W-What is it Sasuke-kun?"
Her voice was like music to my ears, so soft and calming. I shook my head realizing that she was waiting for me to speak. "Since the moment I have met you...you've been a very important person in my life. Although we have had our difference in the past we still are very close. At times the way I feel for you, my feelings I mean they-" I took a pause trying to think of a way to formulate my words to her.
"...-my feelings for you are strong, very strong" He explained raising my hand up to caress her cheek but I stopped midway bringing my hand back down on my lap.
Hinata's eyes widened at my words, her lips slowly began to part. I could easily tell that she was getting ready to say something and I, of course was curious.
"What do you mean?"
I took a deep breath getting ready to confess my feelings to the girl I love. "I'm trying to tell you that I love-"
Ring
My eyes widened as did hers from what I noticed, looking down at my hooded jacket my hand reached into the pocket pulling my cell phone out, I glanced down at the screen. Narrowing my eyes at the name that was shown on the caller ID, "What could Sakura want with me?" I thought to myself wondering rather or not should I answer it.
Looking back up at Hinata I smiled apologetic at her. "Sorry I must take this" I mumbled to her, standing up walking away from her and out towards her balcony. Flipping my phone open I sighed loudly closing my eyes, pressing my lips into a thin line before speaking.
"Yes?" I answered in a slight annoyed tone also letting her know that I knew who she is.
"Hi...um what have you been doing?"
I couldn't help but to notice the nervousness in her voice. I even felt a little awkward being on the phone with her, especially since I almost came close to expressing my feelings to Hinata. "Nothing, is there a reason why you're calling me? You sound like there is something on your mind" He spoke to her in a softer tone. I couldn't be mean to her...no matter how much I wanted to be rude to her, I couldn't.
"...I really miss you Sasuke-kun. It's hard for me to let you go, I am trying but you mean so much to me"
"Sakura, you're going to have to try harder to let me go. It pains me to hear your voice, I can tell that you're tell heartbroken and-"
"But do you still love Hinata...?"
My eyes narrowed looking down at the floor of the balcony before I gazed up and out at the view of the sea. "You already know what I'm going to say so why bother even asking me? Listen, I'm sorry that I hurt you but I don't love you anymore. Please...let go of me" I begged her. Suddenly I heard her sniffing, she was crying...because of me. "Please don't cry Sakura"
I hated this; I didn't want to hurt anyone especially a girl. Sure I did still care for Sakura but not in that way anymore. The girl I love is Hyuga Hinata but Sakura is still heart broken. I would feel so bad if I just jumped straight from Sakura to Hinata, not like I was planning on asking Hinata to be my girlfriend today but still...
If I was in Sakura's position and she broke up with me for that Ryo guy and began dating him so suddenly that wouldn't make me feel so good...
"I'm sorry; sorry for bothering you...I just needed to hear your voice again. I missed it..."
"It's okay; I understand...I'm going to go now"
"Mhm, goodbye Sasuke-kun..."
"Yeah...bye" I hung up the phone feeling horrible about the whole situation. I turned around once I heard voices coming from inside the apartment. Walking out of the balcony, I walked back into the living room and my eyes widened at the person hugging Hinata.
"Suigetsu..." I whispered to myself.
Normal POV
The silver bluish haired male let go of Hinata as his purple eyes gazed over at Sasuke. "Is that really you...Sasuke?" He asked in a surprised tone.
The raven haired male nodded his head, placing a small smirk on his face. "It's been awhile, hasn't it?" He questioned to the other male. He hasn't seen him in such a long time, really since high school to be honest. Sasuke, Naruto, Jugo and Suigetsu all went to the same high school growing up but once they graduated they all separated but Sasuke and Naruto always kept in contact with each other. Suigetsu and Jugo lived back in Konoha with Hinata and often traveled back and fourth to school despite the distance.
"Sure has been awhile, I heard from Jugo that you're close friends with Hinata-hime. What a small world this turned out to be" Suigetsu chuckled to while making his way towards the Uchiha. He looked him up and down before pouting slightly to himself. "Man, you're taller than me now...no fair" He frowned.
Hinata let out a small giggle moving over towards the chair sitting down. Sasuke was slightly disappointed since Jugo and Suigetsu came, he wanted to be able to confess his feelings to her but knew that he would have to put it off for awhile until he was alone with Hinata.
"So what's been going on here lately?" The grinning male asked, plopping himself down on the couch. He looked around noticing how everyone seemed to be quiet not really saying anything causing him to frown. "Well I didn't come all the way here for nothing, so someone better say something" He snapped.
"Well I did have a girlfriend but we're over now due to various reasons. Naruto has his band and they're becoming more and more popular now. Uh I don't know what else to tell you" Sasuke stated with a bored expression.
Suigetsu stared at Sasuke with widened eyes. "You had a girlfriend? Who was it? Was she hot? Knowing you, you seem to have high standards for girls, so what was she like?" He questioned looking at him with eager eyes.
Sasuke sighed to himself shaking his head, bringing his hand to his head. "You sure ask a lot of questions, as always" He said in an annoyed tone.
"Well?" Suigetsu pressed on trying to pry into Sasuke's life.
"He obviously doesn't want to talk about it, Suigetsu. So just leave it alone" Jugo said lowly causing the silver bluish to pout and fold his arms across his chest. Hinata was actually quite happy that Sasuke didn't answer any of Suigetsu's questions. She knew that she wouldn't be able to bear hearing one of the questions being answered, about if she was hot.
In her eyes Sakura was a very attractive female, with pretty bright green eyes, the unique colored hair she has and what made that interesting was that it wasn't dyed pink it was her natural hair color. Much like her dark blue hair color but she still didn't think she could compare to Sakura.
Suigetsu looked over at the female Hyuga, noticing her facial expression. She appeared to be in deep thought and he was getting ready to ask her what was wrong until he noticed Sasuke make his way over towards her. His purple eyes narrowed in curiosity as the Uchiha male kneeled down in front of Hinata appearing to be asking her if she were okay, with his hand rested on her knee.
"What the hell is this?" He thought to himself while frowning. He turned his head to look Jugo motioning with his eyes towards Sasuke and Hinata, silently asking him if anything were going on between the Hyuga and Uchiha.
"I'll tell you later" The tall orange haired male muttered lowly. He could easily tell that Suigetsu was beginning to get jealous. Ever since he could remember the male held a huge crush on Hinata and use to hate whenever she were around Deidara because he knew that the Hyuga loved the blonde.
"I'm fine Sasuke-kun, you don't have t-to worry about me" Hinata explained with a soft smile. Sasuke nodded his head slowly, moving away from her and stood up straight. Turning his head his coal black eyes gazed over at Suigetsu noticing how he was staring at him with an unexplainable look in his purple eyes.
The male Uchiha looked away from him taking a seat down next to Jugo. "So how long are you going to be in town?" Sasuke asked directing his question to Suigetsu.
"Not for long, maybe a few weeks. I'm actually staying in a hotel near your father's place, Hinata" Suigetsu stated, turning his gaze to her. Hinata seemed slightly surprised to hear that, knowing that she hasn't seen her father in such a long time. She often wondered did her father even think about her, never once has he stopped by for any of her birthdays, or even for the holidays. Well, she couldn't blame him for much seeing how she hasn't done the same. The relationship between Hinata and her father was very strained, just being alone with him in the room the tension was so thick you could cut it with a knife.
"How are my father and Hanabi doing?" She asked hesitantly.
The three males looked over at Hinata, Jugo and Suigetsu narrowed their eyes off to the side. They felt bad for the female Hyuga, both knowing how Hiashi would always treat Hinata like she was dirt. Countless times Suigetsu had gotten in trouble due to his out-spoken personality, he would defend Hinata. Jugo on the other hand, would always keep his comments to himself, only offering advice if he were allowed to. Hiashi, was a very strict male and he knew just when to strike fear into others.
"He's doing good, still the harsh and coldhearted man he has always been but fine nevertheless. Hanabi is doing well also, she's in the championship for the world tour martial arts competition" Suigetsu explained in a dry tone. The fair skinned male didn't really care about Hiashi or Hanabi. Working for the older male had always been hell, Hanabi was no exception. She was nothing but a spoiled brat in his eyes. How Hanabi and Hinata were related he'll never know.
Hinata nodded her head slowly, a part of her was slightly jealous that Hanabi was in the championship. She was happy for her, she wouldn't deny that but the jealously was there. Years ago, prior moving to where she lives now, Hinata was entered into one of the martial arts schools. She had done poorly as a student there, bringing shame onto not only her family and the Hyuga name but to her father. The female had always tried so hard to seek her father's approval but she always failed miserably at doing so.
She remembers countless times asking Jugo to help train her but whenever he came close to helping her; Hiashi would say it's not permitted. She put on the best smile that she could muster up, "That's good, I'm happy that they are living well" Hinata replied weakly.
Sasuke, who was still staring at the female, stared at her trying to read her expression. He never once met Hiashi or Hanabi, from what he has been told from Neji, Hiashi was a male who was once very kind and caring that is until his wife died. He then turned into someone very coldhearted, someone who always treated Hinata and himself like crap, more so with Hinata, seeing how she is an exact replica of the deceased woman. As for Hanabi, she was nothing but a spoiled brat, who got her way every time something didn't go her way. Sasuke was even told by Neji once that Haishi told Hinata that he wished Hinata died instead of Hanako; his wife, to even going far as saying she was disgrace to his family as his daughter.
Hearing something like that boiled the Uchiha's blood. He knew if he ever met Hiashi, he would most likely say something he wouldn't regret. His coal black eyes gazed away from Hinata and over to Jugo, noticing how his expression changed into a concerned one.
"So how's life being a bodyguard?" Jugo asked, trying to change the subject.
Suigetsu groaned loudly, "It's a freaking nightmare," He frowned, "I'm always doing something wrong and then she tries flirting with me. To get her to back off I have to tell her that I have a girlfriend. Currently we're on a semi-break, so when I heard Jugo was here with Hinata-hime I decided that I should come over this way" He grinned widely.
He was happy to get a chance to see Hinata again; he hasn't seen her in five years. If anything she has grown to become even beautiful than the last time he saw her. The only thing he was wondering about was if the love she had for Deidara was still lurking around in her heart. He couldn't stand Deidara in the past; it always irked him to know that Hinata liked him so much. Deidara was a really nice guy towards him and never said or did anything wrong, it was just the jealously that Suigetsu had a hard time getting over with.
Silence engulfed the room making it awkward until Hinata spoke, stating how she would make some snacks for the males. Once she left the room Sasuke sat there gazing back and fourth from Suigetsu to Jugo, "So," He started, hoping someone would pick up the conversation from there.
Without hesitation Suigetsu began talking non-stop about what he has been doing the last past five years. Watching him, he began to realize how much similar Suigetsu is to Naruto. In the past those two almost appear to close like brothers, often joking around and getting in trouble Now both males seem to have mature a lot compared to how they were in the past. Although at times Naruto may still have that kid inside him, he takes things far much more serious now; even managing his band, taking care of Shinichi off and on; almost like an older brother figure even though he proved to be quite strict with him at times. Shinichi even commented on how much he looks up to the blonde and wants to grow up to be just like him.
While Suigetsu on the other hand, appears to be more mature as well. Even though he hasn't been around him long enough now to be able to judge anything, he could just see it in his eyes that he has matured a lot.
Smiling to himself, he was quite happy to be reunited with two of his old best friends from the past.

Deidara sat in front of the television that was in front of his bed, his legs ere hanging off the bed with his head facing towards the ceiling. It's been currently days since the break-up between he and Ino, he couldn't stop thinking about her. What he couldn't understand is why he always managed to attract the cheaters. Not once has he had a faithful girlfriend, he was beginning to wonder if it was him that caused them to all cheat. But it couldn't have been him, he had always been nothing but nice to all of his previous girlfriends and treated them with the utmost respect. So why did they all cheat on him? Was he not man enough for them?
These were questions that he had also been thinking about for awhile. Ino was the one girl he thought he could trust, not only that she had been his longest relationship; five long years together and not once had he ever notice any change. But now thinking back on it he remembers countless of times how she would never let him see her phone whenever he needed to make a call. "She was probably cheating on me back then" He thought with a sadden sigh. He was so deep in thought he almost didn't hear anyone knocking on the door until the knocks became harder.
"Alright, alright, I'm coming" He groaned, lifting himself out of the bed staggering towards the door. He and Sasori had been up all last night practically drinking the night away. He still had a hang-over and reminded himself never to do that again, since he was only drinking to drown his pain away, which didn't help any at all.
Reaching the door opened it, surprised to see Ino standing on the other side of the door. He wanted to lash out at her and question her why she was even visiting him but he couldn't get himself to do that. Besides he didn't want to cause a scene at the hotel he was staying at. His blue eyes gazed down at the foot shorter female, waiting for her to say something, realizing that she was taking her time on talking he decided he'll be the first to say something. "I never thought that you would come here" He responded weakly but behind the weak tone you could clearly hear the anger.
She shifted her weight from side to side, "Um, can I come inside?" She asked nervously. Her dark blue eyes gazed up into his eyes, waiting to hear his reply. At first she thought he wasn't going to allow her to come inside but she was wrong when she noticed him step to the side, motioning for her to come in. Once she walked inside she could hear him close the door behind her. Turning around to face him, her expression changed into a determined one, "I wanted to talk to you about, what happened" She explained to him.
"Go on and talk then" He responded as he walked passed her and into the sitting room area of the hotel room.
Ino followed him into the room, noticing how he sat down in the chair rather than sitting down on the couch. Seeing this lead her to think Deidara didn't want to sit next to her, seeing how he would always sit on the couch just to be near her. Walking around the coffee table heading towards the couch she finally took a seat down, "I'm sure that you are curious who Shikamaru is" She started, noticing that he wasn't saying anything she continued speaking, "Shikamaru is a old friend of mine, I knew him before we started dating. I've always loved him and well I could never get myself to confess my feelings to him. It wasn't until we began dating is when he told me that he loved him and how he felt jealous that I was with you and not him" She paused to look over at her ex-fiancé, he didn't look too pleased with what he was hearing but he didn't say a word.
"With him telling me this, I was so happy but I was with you and I didn't want to hurt you. Eventually he left to come here and I hadn't heard from him in awhile until he started to send me text messages and then letters, soon after that he said that he wanted to see me. I agreed and I used the excuse that I wanted to visit Sakura just so we can come here" She explained to the blonde.
"I just wanted to ask you a few questions; these are the only questions I will be asking you and I want you to answer them in the order I'm asking you" He glanced over at her making sure that she was listening, "First off, have you ever had sex with him and if so how many times? Secondly, why didn't you just tell me about him in the first place? And thirdly, why did you use me when you know of my past relationships with cheaters and fully well knowing I hate cheaters"
Ino tensed under his hardened gaze, parting her lips she knew that it was either now or never. She had to finally tell him the truth and she knew that those questions were going to cone sooner or later. "I have had sex with him, a few times to be exact since we have been here. I didn't tell you about him because like I said before I didn't want to hurt you. Knowing about your past with other girls, I wanted to be that one girl who didn't hurt you but in the end I ended up hurting you anyways because of my selfishness. I just couldn't deny Shikamaru, he…-"She paused, trying to gather up her thoughts, "he is the one who I truly love and I wanted to be with him. I'm sorry for using you…" She said the last statement very soft and meekly.
Deidara stared at her for the longest making her feel very uncomfortable. His gaze darkened as he slowly looked away from her, "I never felt so used and betrayed by someone before, I really thought you were the one. That's why I asked for your hand in marriage, because I loved you and trusted you. I put you before so many things Ino, you were my life and then you just take everything away that I thought could lead us into a long-lasting good relationship. I gave it my all, why-why does this always happen to me, damn it!" He shouted out in pure anger.
His voice made Ino jump up in fear; she never heard that tone coming from him before. She didn't even have time to respond because he began speaking once again, "Why does each and every girl I date cheat on me…I don't get it" His tone was now softer but held so much sadness and confusion. She stood up from the couch to walk towards him and hug him but he stopped her with one motion of his hand, raised up. "Please, the last person I want to touch me is you. Look, you said what you wanted to say, you can leave now, yeah" He sat there, daring himself not to look over at her.
Ino narrowed her eyes, she felt like such a bitch. Deidara didn't deserve anything like this to happen to him. He was the sweetest guy that any girl would love to have but he just wasn't the right guy for her, no matter how much she tried to convince herself that he was. She wanted to ask him so badly about Hinata, but she knew that would make him even angrier than what he already is now. Knowing how Deidara is, he might think she is just trying to turn the tables around on him. And she didn't want him to think that of all things.
She flipped her long blonde ponytail behind her shoulders, glancing down at him for one more time; "I'll see you around, Deidara" She smiled sadly at him as she walked out the room.
He sat there silently, listening as the door closed indicating that Ino was no longer in the hotel room. Nothing but emptiness was seen behind the depths of his eyes, he never felt like this before. The girl he loved for nearly five years, the same girl he was going to marry in just three months, had left him for another guy. He literally felt like shit.
Glancing over into the next room, he stared at the bottle of sake that was sitting on top of the nightstand. He was so tempted to just drink that whole bottle by himself but he had to restrain himself. Reaching inside his pocket he pulled out his cell phone, clicking on his contacts he scrolled down the list until he stopped at the name that was currently highlighted.
"Hinata…"
The blonde wanted to call her but couldn't get himself to do it. He wanted to talk to her so badly; lately she has been on his mind a lot. Just when he made up his mind his cell phone began ringing, his eyes narrowed at name. "Tch, what could he possibly want with me?" He contemplated rather or not should he answer it, but after the fifth ring he decided that he should, "What do you want, yeah?"
"Hey, come on now that's no way to talk to your father is it?"
Deidara gritted his teeth, "You're my stepfather, why are you even calling me anyways. You decided since I'm not there you can harass me over the phone?" He growled lowly. He hated his stepfather for many reasons; the top reasons are things no one knows about with the exception of Hinata and Sasori. His stepfather was jerk, but anyone with eyes could see that. He disrespected Sasori and Hinata on many occasions; once he said something so vile to Hinata both he and Sasori fought the male. That day Deidara's mother called the police on Sasori and her on son, something he would never forget. Then he has a habit of treating his mother very badly, but his mother seems not to care.
"Ha-ha, funny as ever I see. Actually-"
"You know, do be honest I really don't care what you have to say, old man. Don't you ever call my phone again" He then proceeded into hanging up on him. He felt rather proud of himself after that, sitting there listening to him would annoy him greatly. He removed himself from the chair, raising his left hand through his long blonde hair. He was thinking about doing a surprise visit to Hinata's apartment but last time he did that she was stating how she was in a hurry to leave. He could feel his phone in his pocket vibrating, no doubt in the back of his mind that it was his stepfather calling him again, most likely to yell at him for hanging up on him.
He was thinking over his opinions, either stay in the hotel and drink away his sorrow, or contact Hinata, maybe get together with her and Sasori out to eat or last choice, go back to Konoha. The last opinion is something he would have to honestly think about, going back meant going back alone with Ino by his side. Then he would be going back to the same country with his miserable mother and stepfather, with no Sasori or Hinata. It's not like he didn't have any other friends but Sasori and Hinata, but those two were so close they were like family to him. No one could ever replace those two.
"I should go over to Hinata's, maybe I should bring a movie over there for us to watch together" He smiled to himself, grabbing his keys he swiftly walked out the door.

Kabuto could feel Gaara's green eyes glaring harshly at him but the whole time they were they he merely ignored it. They were just finishing touching up a song Gaara had written, his black eyes gazed over at Gaara noticing that he was still staring at him, "Is there a reason you have been staring at me like that for the last three hours?" The grey haired asked grimly.
Gaara never once looked away, causing Kin to watch the scene in silence. She really didn't know what was going on and before she knew it Gaara quickly stood up, his hands were shaking and forming a fist. She didn't want him to fight Kabuto, so she quickly ran to stand in front of her boyfriend, holding her arms out. "I don't know what you're thinking Gaara, but I won't allow you to fight in here" She frowned.
"Kin…" Kabuto's voice was soft and filled with surprise. His black eyes gazed back over at Gaara; he seemed a bit reluctant but eventually took a step back.
"I'm leaving" Gaara snapped, causing his brother and Mitsuki stared up at the red head, not expecting his outburst.
"Well we're almost done with the music, just wait a few more-"
"I'm not waiting for anything; I'll just go next door to Hinata's. Anything is better than being in here with this guy" He turned around ignoring Mitsuki's protest to stay, once he left the room became silent. Kankurou stared over at Kabuto and Kin, sending the both an apologetic smile.
"Sorry about Gaara, he's a bit cranky today" He chuckled softly while stacking some papers, with the lyrics written down on them. The dark brown haired male knew that his younger brother couldn't stand Kabuto and he also knew that Kabuto is a cheater, who constantly cheats on Kin. That was no secret to anyone who knew Kabuto very well, the only person who didn't know was Kin, herself. He glanced over at Mitsuki noticing how she was staring at the door Gaara had just left out. "He's next door to the right, I'm sure if you want to go over there Hinata wouldn't mind it. When I'm finished up over here, I'll come get you two" He explained to the female.
The brown haired female seemed a tad bit reluctant but nodded her head slowly. She stood up from the couch and walked towards the door. Once she was out the apartment, she gazed over at the door down the hallway. She was slightly nervous in meeting this 'Hinata' seeing how Gaara seemed to think highly of her, well more highly than what he thinks of her.
Walking over to the door, she stopped until she stopped in front of it, knocking softly she was taken back when a rather tall male opened the door. "U-Um, I think a friend of mine with bright red hair went in there" She explained to the orange haired male.
Jugo stared at her for a few moments, "Yeah, he just walked in not to long ago" He moved to the side, allowing her to come inside.
Mitsuki seemed a tad bit hesitant but she finally walked inside. Her dark eyes gazed around the apartment; compared to Kabuto's everything was far much brighter and cleaner here. She could hear laughter coming from a room on the other side of the apartment wall, walking more into the apartment she finally stopped when she noticed a few people in the living room talking amongst each other.
Gaara looked away from Hinata to notice Mitsuki was looking around curiously. He narrowed his eyes, "What are you doing here, Mitsuki?" He asked in annoyance.
"I was just wondering where you went off to…" She explained, letting her gaze fall upon Hinata. She was staring so hard it became very clear that she was trying to check out Hinata in her own way. Hinata of course noticed this and shifted uncomfortably in the chair she was sitting on. "You must be Hinata, I'm Mitsuki" She smiled brightly at the female Hyuga.
"I-It's nice to meet you, you're friends with Gaara?" She asked curiously at the dark brown haired female.
Before Mitsuki had a chance to even answer, Gaara started speaking, "I've known her for awhile. We're having a concert this upcoming Friday, would you like to come? You can invite your friends if you'll like" His voice was stoic as ever but ever since the party Gaara seems to be trying his hardest to be nice towards her.
"Sure, I'll be sure to come and perhaps you guys would like to come along?" She asked while gazing over at Jugo, Suigetsu and Sasuke. The white-bluish haired male was one of the first people to answer, showing that he was rather excited about going, while Jugo and Sasuke merely shrugged their shoulders up.
Gaara nodded his head and stood up from the couch, "I'm going to head back now to Kabuto's. I only came by because I needed some air" He explained, mainly to Hinata more so than to anyone else. His green eyes glanced over to Mitsuki motioning for her to follow him, "I'll be seeing you around, Hinata. Also don't be afraid to come to me if you know who ever bothers you again" He stated. Gaara walked towards the door as Mitsuki quickly trailed after him not bothering to say goodbye to anyone.
"Um Gaara…is she someone important to you?" She asked once they were out the apartment.
He stopped walking never bothering to turn his head to look over at her, "She's not important to me but she is important to my brother. If my brother cares a lot about her and is willing to do anything for her just to make her happy, then I can do the same" He replied as he continued walking leaving the now jealous girl standing alone.

Hours passed and Jugo and Suigetsu left nearly twenty minutes ago so he could drive the male back to his hotel, leaving Sasuke and Hinata alone once again. The raven haired male looked down at the female, who was resting her body out on her lounge chair that was out on her balcony. His fingers ran through her soft silk like hair as he stood beside her, as smile graced his features at her peaceful expression looking up at him. She was so beautiful, like an angel sent from heaven or some goddess. He then stopped moving his fingers through her hair, his facial expression became serious.
"What's wrong, Sasuke?" She asked in concern, sitting up in the chair.
He narrowed his eyes, looking away from her briefly. "There is something that I want to tell you, I was going to earlier but we had gotten interrupted" He explained. Turning his head to face her, he stared deep into her eyes, "For years now I always ignored these feelings and up until recently I finally came to term with these feelings." He grabbed onto her hand, holding it tightly as a blush began to slowly appear on his cheeks, "I'm in love with you Hinata" He confessed.
It felt like a huge weight had been lifted off his shoulders once he confessed those words to her. His heart was beating twice as fast as it was before he even confessed to her. He didn't know if she felt the same but at least he finally could tell her just how he feels about her. Then he finally noticed the silence that engulfed the room, looking at her expression he couldn't tell what she was thinking. Her eyes were wide; her lips were parted and were as wide as her eyes. While her hand was shaking after he confessed, he was beginning to think maybe he should have kept it to himself. "Hinata, look if you don't feel the-"
He was silenced by a finger, his coal black eyes were shown to be confused by this gesture as he tempted to speak again only to be told by the Hyuga not to speak. "Sasuke, I would have never thought you would have felt anything towards me. Because actually," She paused looking up at him as she decided to stand up to face him as she spoke these next words to him, "I'm starting to fall in love with you too" She spoke to him, her voice was shaky but he could tell that this wasn't a joke and that she were serious.
He couldn't believe that she felt the same way for him; he then felt a sudden impulse to kiss her. Raising her hand up he titled her head upwards, gazing down at her plush lips he licked his own. Looking back into her eyes silently asking for permission, he noticed how she nodded her head. He never felt so nervous to kiss someone before, normally something like this wouldn't faze him but he, Uchiha Sasuke, was actually nervous. Noticing how she was closing her eyes puckering her lips to lean forward, a blush stained his cheeks as he slowly did the same.
Once his lips were pressed against her, they both felt a spark ignite within them. It was soft and pleasant, nothing to rough and messy, the kiss was just right. Finally being able to confess their feelings to one another made everything just seem perfect. The female Hyuga was happy, mainly because she knew now that she didn't have to be scared or hurt by rejection like she went through with Deidara because this time the man she feel in love with, her best friend Uchiha Sasuke, loves her back. This would be a moment either Sasuke or Hinata would ever forget.
And how things would play out from here is something only time would be able to tell.

Standing outside the apartment building, Deidara stood there with a DVD case in his hand while other the hand he held a bouquet of flowers, staring up at the balcony where Sasuke and Hinata stood kissing. His eyes widened as his heart began beating faster; he felt a certain feeling in his chest while watching the two. The flowers that he was going to give to Hinata had now been dropped on the ground. "Hin-Hinata…" He whispered in pain.
He didn't know why but he felt anger while watching another man kissing her. And he didn't like this feeling at all; it was making him regret rejecting her those five years ago. I couldn't have feelings for Hinata…could I?"
